REMARKS 



The weather during September was generally seasonable, and 

 more pleasant than any of the summer months preceding it. 

 More than one-half the days were clear and only four were re- 

 corded as cloudy. The large amount of sunshine aided the ma- 

 turing of the fall crops and the absence of heavy frosts extended 

 the growing season to the close of the month, giving com ample 

 time to mature. A few traces of frost were noted after the mid- 

 dle of the month but they were so light that no damage was done. 



An analysis of the weather records for the month shows the 

 following features: All the barometer records were nearly nor- 

 mal and changes in pressure were rather slow. Nearly one-half 

 the time the wind was in the southwest quadrant. The total 

 wind movement was about ten per cent more than the normal, 

 although only one gale was registered on the pressure chart. 



The maximum and minimum temperatures were both a few 

 degrees above the normals for these records, while the mean 

 hourly temperature was slightly below the normal for this station. 

 The range of temperature on the 14th was unusually large. 



The mean dew point was slightly below the normal and the 

 relative humidity rather high. 



The total precipitation was an inch more than usual. Nearly 

 the whole amount fell during three heavy storms, — the one on 

 tho 15th being the most severe.
